It's true. U-Boot must be built for specific hardware device. However, the StorCenter is also a Kirwood 88F6281, so you can UART-boot with other U-Boot Kirkwood 88F6281. Of course it will not bring up correct memory, SATA ports, and/or ethernet in some cases.

What you should do is Google for the patch, i.e. board file. If you can find an old version of the patch, I will then retrofit it for current U-Boot. Without some starting point, it will be quite time consuming to create a new patch. I'm afraid I don't have enough free time to do that!
